| I spoke to a mechanic who works on aircooled VW engines, and coindicentallly the guy who normally worked on the car. He told me my oil leak is likely from a bad valve cover gasket. So I think thats my next project. Then a LED headlight upgrade so it'll pass inspection. The one light bulb is currently out (high beam still works though). |

| But as far as manuals, I have a Haynes and a Chiltons manual. I've been reading them left and right looking up what goes where and how parts work. I've been looking up some of the other books at Amazon. |

the bentley manual is considered by most to be the VW bible of sorts. I'm sure the diversity will be nice.
